This was our first KOA experience. It is a decent campground, but it is horribly overpriced. When we first arrived, they gave us a different site which happened to be cheaper than what we paid for. After talking to them, they moved us to the one we booked online and said if we had wanted to stay they would have refunded the extra money paid. It is just weird, because judging by another couple we talked to and the reviews here it is something that they continue to do so keep an eye out for a switch.

There are tons of things in the park like a little pond with paddle boats, a miniature golf course, outdoor chess set, a pool and probably some other things I didn't notice. Every inch of land is filled with something. I did like the dog park, it was nice to let my girl run around after traveling on the road.

The spots are close together and SUPER close if you are parked next to a big rig. I could touch the slide-outs of our neighbors from the patio if I had wanted to.

The dumpsters were spilling out onto the road because they were so full. I don't know when the pick-up date is, but it definitely needs to be more often.

I would look around for a better value if I were you. It is doubtful I will go back to a KOA unless I have to. Bowling Green itself is lovely though. This campground is super close to everything. - toocoolfortulle

All sites appeared to be gravel topped. Our site had a nice patio with nice furniture. Weather was perfect for sitting outside under the shade trees while visiting with friends. No satellite due to trees though. Sewer connection was a little far to the back of our site so could not use however we were only there for one night. Very quiet at night even though the close proximity to freeway. - monkeyandbanzi

I wonder how KOA stays in business. I generally try to avoid them but for location this was best. Electric in the section we are in is pretty poor. Showers are cramped, dirty and old. Trees are in need of trimming. There are many workers that need to go to work early in the morning with loud trucks. Some semi homeless families with children in junk trailers. At least they don't get up early. This is over priced for what it is. On the plus side the wifi works good. They must keep after the live-ins because I see little trash around the sites. I would probably try to find something else if I returned. - jmrkav

This is an older park. I should have been warned when we phoned to find out if there were RV sites available and the lady replied "Yes, there are only about 20 RV down there." 20 RVs in a park with 300+ sites during the summer. We paid $40 because we wanted 50 amps. There are very few 50 amp sites. The first one we tried did not work. Some of the sites are not level. The roads are narrow and one way. The sites are narrow. The road layout and the map were difficult to follow. With the one way roads and maze of roads we had to drive around 15 minutes before we found a suitable site. - WEW

Ugh: if we're ever in the area again we'll be camping somewhere else. Precious few sites available with shade and those that exist will be occupied by long-term campers. The rest of it is a glorified parking lot. Very confusing layout that does not match the campground map. Paved sites are narrow and utility hookups are old and/or in need of repair/replacement. The sewer hookup was simply a hole in the ground being held open by a rusty pipe. The best thing I can say about this CG is the bathrooms/shower facilities were relatively new, housed in a pole building. It was clean but evidence of low-budget fixtures and construction was everywhere. Office staff was very polite and helpful when I called and when we checked in, but I should have known better when they said we didn't need reservations. - RamWagon

I would not camp here again. I camped here due to the Amusement Park being on the grounds. That was a joke, one roller coaster and a few twist and pukes. The waterpark was fun until the rain stated and ended our day. The campsites were packed in like sardines but there were not many people here. Each site was pull through but on the grass with dips and holes in most spots. There are no fire rings and no place to really put a fire. When it rained (and it was heavy rain) many of the spots were soaked as there was no drainage. The restrooms were clean but there was no mirror in the ladies room. This was just not what my impression of it was ahead of time. It would be good for smaller kids wanting to go to the amusement part, and a one night stay. - foe3643

I stopped here looking for one nights rest. The staff was very polite and helpful. The campground is catering to mostly permanent setups and the newest RV in was at least 20 years old. I did not see any open sites except for the small one they put me on. It would be too small for anything over my 21 footer. I did my laundry here and while the machines have been well used. Some had rust and some were out of order. My clothes came out clean and dry. Everything remotely movable was chained and padlocked. If you want cheap camping and not a large rig it would be OK, but if rough looks aren't your style I would keep looking elsewhere. - Goinmobile

This is a tiny and inexpensive campground. Most of the sites are filled with really old campers that can no longer move down the road. The management is friendly, and its right off the highway, so very convenient for going to Nashville. - bootslammer

Reviews of Nashville North KOA ( formerly Nashville Country RV Park)

Campground is approximately 12 miles north of Nashville. Park staff was friendly and knowledgeable of the area attractions. Campsite had a grassy area with a picnic table and cable TV. Restrooms and showers were clean. LP gas is available in park. Shuttle into Nashville stops at the campground. We had two RVs; one was a motorhome. - sc river ratz

My major compliant is that my RV was way too big for this park.

They knew the size when I made my reservation,yet took my money and accepted the reservation. Once I left the office and pulled into the park I was committed and couldn't turn around ,the road thru the was very narrow really couldn't adequately handle my size. My so called pull thru was a wide space on the left side of the road with a fence in front of me. I worried all nite if I would be able to make the turn to exit. If you a 40 foot rig stay away from this place . It's made for TTs and class Cs . I left at 6 AM so couldn't tell office what I thought of them. They have those white painted posts next to the road and I seen a few days later where my bay door scrapped one. Thank you KOA north for the reminder of your totally inadequate park. - captpar

This is a beautiful park. We had a pull through site, right next to the creek. Hook ups are on the passenger side of the site. Our site was sloped very badly and wheels were off the ground on one side in order to be mostly level. Site is asphalt. Nice big sites and deer roam the park in the morning and afternoon. Very relaxing! The office is inside the maintenance building and at the end of the road. Confusing if you don't already have reservations. Good interior roads, the road into the campground is very narrow and no shoulder. Looks like they are building a new office at the entrance. 50 amp and water, no sewer. The only place to turn the rig around was in the maintenance area parking, so we could hook up toad. We would stay here again, and can only imagine how beautiful this place is in the fall. - Vicki K

Difficult to level RV. Satellite did not receive signal and TV antenna spotty at best. Back in. Very far from everything. Extremely large log cabin like building under construction...possible new bathrooms and store. Lots of deer and turkey. Older park built when smaller travel trailers and were the largest being parked. - jslyPensacola

This COE CG is part of Barren River Lake State Park in southcentral KY. It sits behind the dam along the Barren River. Great fishing sites along a lazy river. Sites are somewhat close together, but they are all gravel and level and include a lantern pole, picnic table, fire ring, and a table for your portable grill. Playground stuff for kids, and recreation of the lake is close by, including Barren River Lodge and beach. You can go to ReserveUSA to reserve your space, alathough at checkin I was told that the CG is rarely full. This seems to be a great CG! - Motorhome Madness

Nice park with good proximity to other stores. Pros: Very friendly staff and nice restrooms. Cons: Some spots were really close. We had to be relocated because our slides probably wouldn't have had room to be opened in the originally allocated spot. The new spot we were moved to, I had to pull out between two other campers because of the utility arrangements. - RET Nav Travelers

We stayed for 3 days. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. They helped us get Grand Ole Opry tickets through Greyline. We ate their BBQ on Friday night and enjoyed their Karaoke party after dinner. A very nice family run business. We recommend this park to anyone. Sites were large and shaded, easy to access, and a lot of grass. Very convenient to Nashville. - Big Texan

We had a little problem finding the campground initially, but soon discovered how convenient it was to I-65. We were able to hop on the freeway and zoom on down to the Grand Old Opry and all the other Nashville sites.

There are all kinds of stores and restaurants nearby. Beautiful location. It is near a train track, but the train noise didn't bother us. - Paul Elliott

Good value with senior discount. This is a big CG and sites vary from level to very inclined. CG is on a side hill next to lake. The interior roads in loop B are pretty steep in places. As mentioned in another post, the CG is a bit off the beaten path with not much of anything nearby. Good place for boaters and fishing. TV via batwing was very good, Verizon cell good, broadband was OK at 3G. - Bob and Inga

Great park lots of grass and shade with most sites. Some sites very close to the water. Paved access roads and gravel sites. Our site was level but for big rigs it is a little tight. Restrooms were somewhat clean, but not great especially on the weekends. The laundry was available but had one washer and one dryer. Enjoyed staying here. We stayed for a week and we would stay here again. - Buddman

This is one nice campground. It would be a 10 if there was sewer. Large shaded sites near the lake. Utilities are a bit far so hose and electric extensions might be needed. A few useless speed bumps at the gate. I'll use this spot again. - DBCooper

Senior rate. A very nice and a very busy park. Road coming in was a bit tight in places, so beware if you see someone coming out before turning in. We were able to get site #1, not the best site to get into. It is a hard 90 degree turn backing in and there is a deep ditch on CG road making it even harder to make the swing. It is listed as maximum equipment length of 38' for that reason. But once in the site was great, probably 70' to 80' deep. TV via bat wing was very good. Verizon cell and broadband also very good at 4G, but the broadband was slower at times. Only real negative here is the dump station. Water pools where you need to make your sewer hose attachment, so you are in some not so clean water while dumping. - Bob and Inga

Beautiful park, very quiet. Very large sites with great picnic area and fire ring at each site. Only downside is no sewer hookup. This was not a problem as we only stayed two nights, but a longer stay would have required moving the rig to dump. Price reflects Senior Discount. - OkieDave

We were able to get a spot with a lake view close to the boat ramp. Slideout/awning friendly level sites are few and far between in the lower section by the lake, however. Water and electric are spaced apart from each other and we had to choose which one as our 50' water hose was not enough. Very hilly (not bicycle friendly) but that's to be expected so close to a lake. The restrooms were clean but dingy. We had no problem getting our 34' trailer around the grounds. No pool and no playground (that we could find anyway.) Hardly a flat area to throw ball or Frisbee even. It was not awful but we will not return. not what I was expecting for a state owned park. Disappointed. - sacmarata

Very narrow paved roads lead to very narrow paved sites that are seriously off-level. Narrow grassy areas between sites provide no privacy. Some electric hook-ups were inadequate but sites are close enough together that hooking to the neighboring electric may be possible though inappropriate (a neighbor was using ours when we arrived). AT&T phone and data service were weak but serviceable in the area. - never settled

This campground is directly accross the road from Barren River Lake Park south of Glasgow 12 miles on Hwy 31W. This is a bare bones campground, with no shower/bath house, but it is kept clean, neat and tidy. We were staying in the area more than 14 days so the state park would not work for us and found this to be adequate. The manager is actually a park ranger also, so he is very familiar and helpful with knowledge of the area. Caution however: There is no swimming pool, playground equipment, or facilities of any kind. This is however a good place to get away from the crowds if you want peace and privacy. - pipelnrwife

Rate reflects senior pass. This is a very nice COE campground, sites and campgrounds were very clean, as well as the restrooms and showers and laundry room. I loaded the washing machine and put money in and the machine did not work. I reported this to the gate attendant and was told they weren't responsible for the machines and was told the lady that owned the machines would be by to see me. I suggested they put a note on the machine stating it was out of order and again was told it was not their responsibility. I never saw the lady that owns the machines and on our last day, there still was not a sign in the laundry room. It wasn't about the money, but rather the fact the machine did not work and they could have posted a note that it did not work so other campers would be aware. We did like the campground so we would stay here again if in the area. - stella fouche

Reservations via internet makes check in easy. Well maintained COE Lake Campground with nearest store 8 miles away in Glasgow. No liquor allowed on COE land. Large, well defined sites well spaced. A playground is in good condition with artificial padding. Sand volleyball court and horseshoe pits also. Main recreation is fishing. Lake swimming beach area closed due to low lake level. Not many sites are level or can accommodate 'Big Riggs'. Was in 36 ft motorhome and it was tight backing into long site. 'A' area is best, but was closed for season. - Kytravl

This place was great. Tucked far off the main roads and right on a lake. The hosts went out of their way to get me a spot for the weekend. The place was full, but everything is spread out, so its not like you are right on top of each other. There is a beach/swimming/fishing area that was nice. Great value, great place to camp. Will definitely be back. - Signal25

We stayed here 6 nights while in the Nashville area and enjoyed our stay very much. Coming in, you go through a residential area (some of it pretty high end) that ends at the park with a pretty tight left turn to get in. The roads in the park are all paved, but pretty narrow, made even narrower in a few spots by big trees on both sides. The sites are all on circles, so even with the narrow roads, backing in is not much of a problem (there are no pull thrus). The sites are crushed limestone (ours was freshly raked) with a wood picnic table, fire pit, and lantern hook. Water pressure was good as was the electric. The bathhouses were clean, but pretty old. The dump station was fine, but a little tight maneuvering. The park is 35-40 minutes from downtown Nashville and 25-30 minutes from the Grand Ole Opry. We would stay again. - SkipperW

Price reflects senior pass. We enjoyed our 9 day stay here. Campground is very nice & clean, lawn is manicured. The road in the campground is narrow & so are some sites, took several tries to back in. Restrooms/showers are very clean, they could use some ventilation. The older lady at check in was very grumpy but gave her the benefit of the doubt & thought she was having a bad day. Second time we had to deal with her she was just as bad. Never saw her smile once the whole time we were there & she never returned a hand wave. Other than that we would stay here again if in the area. - stella fouche

We camped here in May 2007. It had everything the website promised - water slide, man-made beach, putt-putt, 18-hole golf course right next door, etc. The problem was that most everything was a little run down - including the clientele (shirtless rednecks). Apparently, the campground went bankrupt, and just recently changed owners. We met the new owner (very nice) and he is very intent on fixing everything up - but he has his work cut out for him. We were in the nicest-looking section (#500's) - the other parts of the campground couldn't quite shake the "farm" feel to it. The downside to the #500's was how far it was to the bathhouse. Overall, lots of potential. I hope the new ownership invests some money into fixing it up a little. - kenpatriot

Our first experience at this CG was in 2001 Labor Day and it was absolutely packed. The tent sites surround the bathhouse and it looked like a refugee camp. The baths were filthy. I vowed never to return. However, we came back on Labor day 2002 and it was under new management. They have made a lot of improvements. If you have a TT you want to stay on the 2 lane road leading into the CG. There is a small lake and the owner has taken some old playground equipment and put it in the lake to jump and slide off of. The kids will love it. Do not ride the rides,though. Some I remember from the 1968 state fair. Staff is good, coming around to see if you need ice or firewood. This CG is off the beaten path so it is a little hard to find. Call ahead 270-657-2111 and see if they are having any rallies, etc. before you make your reservations. They have at least one Harley rally per year and that would be a scary thing in this CG. - Motorhome Madness

The park was clean and well maintained and the staff was friendly. Their late check-in was perfect - something we typically need.

It was convenient having Camping World next door and there were plenty of places to eat right up the road. We ended up extending our stay by a day because we were so close to so many things to see and do. It's not far to the Grand Ole Opry, shopping, various museums, and all things Nashville.

We had plenty of shade and a level site and the pool was well maintained. I used the laundry and it was clean and had AC; however it was costly to use the dryer. We would definitely stay here again and rank it as one of the better parks we've stayed at. It was considerably cheaper than the park next door - which is always a plus. We were in a 25 foot RV. - Rjjjbrown

We stayed here the week of CMA Fest. We were in site 1, a back in site with water and 30 amp electric. This is our second time to stay here in two years. Regarding the puddles mentioned, yes it rained like a son of a gun at night but the staff was out the next day doing their best to sweep the water to remove puddles. What more can you ask? The site was level and had partial shade. Very well equipped store. Friendly. The pool was clean and well used. Laundry was antiquated but usable. We would definitely stay here again. Would have been a 10 except for laundry. - DigMyPast

I sent an email to the campground on 5/26 inquiring about our site since we were traveling with two young children. Never received a response. I called the campground on 6/4 to ask my question because of that. We checked in on 6/7 to find our site did not have a fire pit which I was told when we booked the site that all campsites had them. The "host" informed me that they were on backorder and he would get back to use to see what could be done. We cook over a fire. We never saw that "host" again which meant we had to rearrange our meals because they didn't follow through. The pool is not up to code and has the drains that suck children to the bottom. The pool was filthy and had a slime along with wall. I never saw anyone out there cleaning it. The showers by the pool had no hot water and the showers by the cabins smelled of sewage. We checked in on Sunday 6/7 and voiced the complaints we had at that time and called corporate on Tuesday 6/9 since no one had gotten back to us. By that time we had more concerns. The campground advertises Movie by the Pool and shows a picture on their site of kids floating in the pool watching the movie where in reality it's Movie behind the pool complete with your own family of mosquitos to join you. That was something our kids were looking forward to. The female "host" was rude and said she was too busy to bother with the phone while I was standing in the store. As we left on 6/11 after not hearing from anyone at the campground or corporate. We saw the owner and my boyfriend got out to speak to him. An email had been placed to the owner at the beginning of our stay with concerns as well and when we asked why we hadn't received a response we were told he was too busy with CMA week to worry about emails. KOA corporate has stated that we should have pretty much raised a stink during our stay in order to get something done and it was now too late. - LoriM

We have stayed at other Yogi Bear Parks and they have always been very good, good staff, and good amenities. They cater to families and kids but that was no problem as we had a site well in the back away from all the activities. Quite at night.
I did want to mention there are two other parks virtually next door Two Rivers and KOA Nashville - they are equally as good from what I saw and there are no less than three RV dealers including Camping World. The OPRY hotel is about two miles away.
Our sight was a pull thru easy to get in and out of - all have shade trees. My wife did the laundry and they have two to choose from.
It is a little pricy at $51. a night but, you are paying for location which was OK.

The campground is located well for visiting Music Valley. It has level sites and full hookup. The cabel TV was excellent, but the wifi was very poor. There was planned activities for the childern including arts and crafts, firetruck ride, hay ride and the pool was very nice. There is even a small adequate goffy golf on site. All activities are a part of the camping fee. The sites are crushed stone and half the road ways are paved. I would stay here again, espically if I were traveling with grandchildren again. - Alabama Jim

If you want a particular site make sure you get it in writing. The office staff is new to accommodating RV'ers and it appears that a good "working" plan is still being developed (how to keep up with who is coming/going-where/when and what site numbers). This is a nice, established, mobile home park close to I-40 and conveniently located. There are plenty of spaces, and large sites. Maybe more suitable for the longer stays. - road-rambler

Really enjoyed this Thousands Trail campground, although it is a little dated. Have a late check-in box where they provide all the information in an easy-to-read envelope. Campsites are first-come, first-served. Even distribution of pull-through and back-in. The site we had appeared level but just about maxed-out our A-frame jack. Grounds were very clean and quiet despite being about 75% full. Large playground for 5+ year old. Miniature golf course (we didn’t play). Clean pool area (closed for season). Lots of green space. No issues with electric. Water pressure low. Sewage very clean. Able to get 3-channels of very clear TV for morning news. Dated but very clean and nice showers and laundry facilities. 10 minute drive to Mammoth Cave, 2 minute drive to privately owned Diamond Caverns, and 20 minutes to grocery. Note that campground office is on main road (opposite; large white building) before you turn into campgrounds. We camped 3 weekend nights. - Next Mission

Despite some of the recent reviews we decided to stay here while visiting relatives in the area. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have only owned the park since last fall. It had been for sale for a few years and is a little run down. The utilities we had ( only El and water) worked fine. The water is about a foot below ground so it could be a problem for some. It is overpriced for only those utilities and no TV. There are many permanent RV's so it borders on a trailer park. It will be interesting to check this place out after they have put some time working on it. We would stay here again. - usa rv12344848

I think this park had gotten a bad rap. It is really quite nice. We had a fairly level pull-through site with a sturdy picnic table. There was plenty of room between the sites, although since the sites are terraced, there was not a lot of room for lawn chairs. It is better than many KOAs we have stayed in. There were lots of staff working very hard to clean up the grounds and install many plantings. When you first pull in you do see some permanent campers and the storage lot is right behind the office, but all the transients are in one section and the long-termers are at the back of the campground. It is very conveniently located to tour most attractions, yet in the country. Great staff. - Vernadene

This park has a long way to go to get up to most KOA standards. I had hoped that the earlier reviews from last year would be out of date and the place would be better. There are some junk RV's here. The sites are small and not level. Gravel driveways and sites. The place just looks junky. No cable. WiFi is good. We came because of a mailer giving 25% off and booked 2 nights. Wish we had only booked one. - padre44

We have 43 ft. Fifth wheel and this park is not big rig friendly. We had no water pressure at all and when we complained we were told that we were on the same water line as the water park and that when it closed it would get better! Really????? We had little or no internet service. Their Nashville Shoreliner boat was not operating nor was the Banana boat rides. Very disappointed! - Theresa W

This is an expensive place to stay. We specifically camped here to use the water park. Entry to the water park is an additional cost above the camping fee. Outside of the water park there a few amenities and there is not a campground pool. There is a small playground, laundry, dog park, but not much else. While Nashville Shores is roughly a 13 mile drive to downtown Nashville, if you aren't coming here for the water park but as a home base to explore Nashville you may prefer to stay elsewhere for a cheaper cost. Out site (#13) was across the street from the lake providing us fairly nice views when lakeside RVs weren't blocking our view. You cannot access the lake from the campground due to a fence. Behind our site were nice mature trees that provided wonderful afternoon shade. The pad was level concrete. Bathhouse was mostly clean. In the bathhouse there were three bathrooms in the men's and three in the women's each with its own toilet, sink, shower, and lockable door providing privacy. Due to the cost, I would only stay here again if our main purpose was to use the water park. Water park is medium size, but our three kids, all under 11, had a fantastic time. - Cap'n G

We stayed at Nashville Shores for 5 nights over Memorial Day weekend and overall had a very good experience. We stayed in one of the lakefront locations. All of their sites have concrete pads and the roads are paved. There are some speed bumps, but we didn't find them to be horrible. The water supply was good and pressure fantastic. We use a regulator, but friends of ours who don't said it was some of the best pressure they've had at a park. Our water filter broke on the second night so we had to go about 12 hours without a filter and the water was clear - not brown as some others have mentioned. The sites were close together, but very well staggered so when you looked out your windows, you would see nothing but beautiful Lake Percy Priest. The worst part was the high quantity of goose droppings in the grass on the service side of our RV. It was a mine field. I realize there's not much you can do there, but we had to really clean our shoes or risk tracking it into our camper. The cable was terrible so we went with over the air. Plenty of strong stations from Nashville...much more than what we could get on Cable. The people checking us in and working at the store were fantastic. Very helpful with tips and ideas of places to go and see. We went to the beach one day and they had lifeguards on duty to watch the 40 square feet of swimming area. Yes, it's crazy that you're required to wear a life vest, but they had about 30 of them and there was only about 5 of us on the beach. They had two lifeguards there - so they could take turns working...definitely overkill for the situation, but they were both really sweet kids and we were able to keep each other company for the couple of hours we were out there. We had virtually front row seats for the fireworks show on Saturday night. Overall, we really enjoyed the park and the trip and would definitely go back. - Samron68

There were lots of deer around our campsite. The pull-through campsite was almost level and just a touch tight to maneuver. It was very close to the main office/entrance to the cave, good.

Most of the sites are well spaced apart for RVs. Bear in mind though this is a popular campground for tenters. This means things get pretty rowdy on weekends. They try to keep the restrooms clean, but the one we were using would get pretty trashed during the day. There are two sites available with 30 amp service. During the week the campground is fairly peaceful, but unless you like noisy crowds stay away on weekends. There are about 10 sites overall that can motor homes up to 40 feet. There are no showers in the campground, but there are pay showers at the camp store. - fputnam

We paid $8.50 per night using the Golden Pass. They have a nearby concessionaire that offered showers and laundry for a fee. They had a well stocked store. Some of the sites were tight due to trees. There were a few larger pull through sites for larger motor homes but not many. Our motorhome just fit and it is 35 feet. The cave tours were fantastic but some were costly. We again used our Golden Pass and were able to go on one of the less expensive tours at half price. They had wonderful paths and the deer stroll right by your site. We would stay here again. - Martins

Our rate was with the Senior National Park pass. The sites on this lakefront park have a paved area for your unit with water and electric (we had 50 amp) hook-ups only. There are a limited number of water-front sites. Interior roads are paved and each site has a concrete picnic table. Our firepit was filled with trash, as were some of the other vacant sites. Single washer/dryer laundry area was unappealing. You drive through an extended residential area to get to the park. Most sites are narrow back-ins so be careful as the pavement is well above the surrounding ground area. It was a good deal for the area. - R&S

We overnighted here twice on a recent trip. It's a bit out of the way which is part of the allure in my opinion. We didn't use the restrooms or shower house, but a quick scan showed them as clean. There is a small beach here as it is on the Percy Priest Lake. No WiFi, but no matter to us. Quiet and peaceful, level sites for the most part. Water and electric are part of the pricing, with no sewer, but a dump site is available. We stayed in site #1 and it was plenty big enough for our 39 ft and truck. Saw rabbits, squirrel and deer on our site. We would definitely stay here again. Our price reflected the the 1/2 price of having the Federal Senior Properties Pass (America the Beautiful). - tjsprinter

Beautiful COE campground; we found sites easy to navigate. The dump station is a bit tricky for a big rig. Sites offer paved spots with a patio including fire ring and large concrete picnic table. Very serene. Verizon and Sprint connectivity both good. Satellite connectivity only possible if near the beach and using a remote receiver with a very long cable to reach the beach, as the campground is heavily wooded. - Pktva

Made reservations via phone, very quick and painless. The owners here are wonderful, and eager to recommend local attractions. We stayed for three nights using Passport America (which reflects the rate listed) - PA is only good for 2 nights, but the owner gave a 25% discount on our third night, which was very nice. We had site #5, a level pull-through site right behind the owner's house. Our first night we had neighbors, which felt very tight, but after they left the space opened up considerably. There are a few stray cats that roam the grounds, but they're very friendly and well mannered. Electric and water only at sites, dump station is at the back end of the park - a bit of a tight turn, but doable in our 30' Class A + tow vehicle. We would stay here if we came through again. - LanderWust

This park is haphazardly laid out, crowded, and dirty. Most of the guests are obviously long-term. Some of the rigs are in poor condition and surrounded by junk in the site. We had to put up with loud, cursing, and arguing neighbors. Several dogs would bark at every loud noise, in other words, often. The roadways are narrow and often used for parking by guests. The trash dumpster was overflowing with several bags of trash on the ground outside the dumpster. We did not use the restrooms, showers or laundry facilities...afraid to. We thought the rate was outrageous for this place. Obviously, the owners don't put anything back into the park. The way only redeeming factor was the lady in the office. She was very friendly and helpful. We had an emergency and could not find and anywhere else to stay, but we would stay in the Walmart parking lot before coming back here again. - normav

This is one of the poorest campgrounds we ever stayed in. We knew we were getting in late, so the office lady said she'd leave paperwork on where to park by the office door. We never found any paperwork. We started looking around and finally found some pedestals with no wiring. After looking around some more, we found one with a 30 amp plug. There were no lights at all in the park. The next morning, the both of us went to the restrooms and found there were no toilet or paper towels. There was a sign on each door stating that due to theft, the management will not supply them. My wife said that there was a lady washing dishes in one of the sinks. We just cannot recommend anyone staying at this campground. - 1dinky

Excellent place for a one night stay, or more if you have things to do in the area. Very attractive, neat and clean park. Easy access to I-24. Groceries, etc., off the next exit four miles away. We were in the front section with water and electric only (we didn't need sewer for only one night) and it turned out to be fortunate because we were the farthest away from I-24. Spaces in the back section with full hook-ups had more noise. Spaces are level with easy in and out. Good wi-fi. Will definitely stay again if in the area. - all4pets

Park is OK for an overnight stay, but no longer. Appears to have at one time to have been a KOA, but has become very trashy with permanent residents. Long grass, expired plates (one 2004?) on several worn out vehicles, with old RVs and rutted roads the norm. The showers were in bad need of "de-mildewing" and updating. The pool looked great, but very small. Our pull through site worked for us and the power was good, so that's all that really mattered. - Teacher's Pet

Beautiful campground with tons of amenities. Waterslide, jumping pillow, 2 pools, splash pad area, mini golf, and more! More cabin options than I've ever seen before. We stayed only 1 night to visit Mammoth Cave. Campground is very hilly and our site was not level side-to-side. We had the largest pull-through spot in the campground (#86) and it wasn't very large. Thought we were close to the bathroom, but it was quite a hike and uphill all the way back. Most everyone had golf carts, very hard to get around otherwise (sign says "bike at your own risk"!). No designated dog park area. Nicely stocked camp store. Park seems more suited for small campers and tents, but would stay here again. Definitely a "destination campground" catering to families. - PurdueGirl

Hard to rate a parking lot. No rating for service, no idea where the people collecting money are located. No rating for cleanliness, it's a gravel and asphalt lot with a plug, a faucet and a hole. Front row seats to the weekend flea market across the street. No campsite numbers, just power poles in the ground at the back of back-in spaces. It is completely surrounded, on every side, by train tracks so if you are a light sleeper, it might be a problem. - PERRELLAS

It's hard to rate this park because it isn't fair to compare it to most rv parks. If you know what you are getting here, it probably rates higher than the 5 I gave it. If you try to compare it to a "normal" rv park, it would probably rate lower. Thus, the mid-range score. It's all about the location--close, easy access to interstates, downtown, and to major shopping centers. And the price is much better than those nicer parks that are further out of town. We felt quite secure here, even though the neighborhood ranges from industrial to low income housing. We stayed a Tuesday & Wednesday. Wednesday night flea market vendors started showing up, and told us (very politely) that other vendors would be coming in starting Thursday and we were "in their spot." Okay with us since we were leaving then, anyway. We didn't call ahead, and we were never contacted by anyone to collect payment. Utilities include sewer, water and electric, and the sewer was just an open hole in the ground--no cover, but worked okay. We would stay here again. - MissMyGolden

This isn't a campground, but a vendor RV parking for the fairgrounds. If there isn't an event, the lot is fairly empty. It's first come first serve and good for just staying over night, which was all we needed for our visit. Even though in the city, we felt safe and it was quiet except for racing at the track on the grounds on Sunday afternoon. We would stay here again. - the burtons

Beautiful park! Right off the bat,you can tell how much they really care about the park just by the extreme upkeep of this beautiful park. We had planned on staying just one night, but we had such a wonderful time,that we booked an extra night. The sites were level gravel pull through with FHU. A very nice fenced dog run. Everyone was super friendly. The fireflies were abundant. There was ample space between the sites that I didn't feel like I was breathing on my neighbors. We would definitely stay again if we come back through the area. Not many parks deserve my 10, but this one defiantly met my standards. - EarlandJenny

I loved this place! It is very convenient to Mammoth Cave, just a few miles actually. Lots of restaurants right around the corner. Great location. It is more for adults, as there is really nothing for children to do there. It is a perfect place for us adults to relax. The shower houses are easily the cleanest and nicest ones I have ever seen! The grounds are beautiful, lots of gorgeous landscaping. Laundry room is exceptionally clean. Very nice fitness room. Staff is incredibly friendly, they even lead you to your site so you know exactly where you are going. There is a train that goes by every so often, but that didn't bother us in the least. All sites are pull-thru, pretty close to being completely level, and even though the neighbors were nearby, I still felt like i had a lot of privacy. I will definitely be staying there again! - CesFam

I hesitate to write a stellar review for this campground, as it might mean that more people will go there. ;-) There are only 32 sites, all with water and electric. It's a newer park (in comparison to most state parks), and the sites are so large and nice; finely crushed limestone bordered by buried landscape timbers are the base for each site. Most of them were actually excavated, and the extra dirt was used to create small mounds between some of the sites. We had THE premium site in the property, all of about 15 steps to a little, stone 'beach' area from our site, lot #21, which is huge. Every site is level, and each has a picnic table, lantern post and fire ring with cooking grate. Good and bad news- there is no OTA television, and ZERO cell signal on AT&T. Driving to the entrance to the campground you can get a slight signal. The state's web site says there is a small camp store on the property, but we were told no, that is incorrect. There is a pretty good little country store about 3 miles away that has groceries, hardware, bait, ice, gas, etc. (it's surprisingly large and well-stocked). Camp office sells firewood. Shower is the cleanest, nicest we've seen. Campground has an overnight mooring area for boats, and a public beach that you can walk to. It's a small, clean, quiet campground, on a beautiful lake. We rented a pontoon boat at the closest marina, which is a 30 minute drive (only 10 minutes from the campground across the lake, though). No fee to enter the park, as we're accustomed to in Indiana. The drive to get there is the worst part, as state roads in Kentucky are little more than most county roads in other areas. It's 45 minutes off the interstate on rolling, winding roads, but for us, it was worth the drive. We'll go back as soon as we can, but the lakefront sites are booked for months...! - fastalker64

I frequently use COE campgrounds, but this one will not be on my return list. It isn't a bad one and would do OK for week-end of family camping. For me, there were too many annoying, pet peeves negatives. First, the interior roads are laid out like a go-cart track: circled, narrow, and curvy. Big rigs can maneuver on them, but it is best to pay attention. There were overhanging tree branches along some parts of the roads and over some sites. Most sites have some degree of sloping; although, none are drastic. The space between sites is less than most COE parks. The hook-up locations are not standard. My site had power on one side and water on the other. All of the lake side sites lack utilities. The noise from someone doing weed eating started at 7:45 am. The roads leading to the park are what would be called "back roads". They are narrow, without a shoulder, hilly, and a chore to drive on with a rig of size. At the time of visit, about half of the park sites are closed due to current administration budget shortages, but that would not be the campground's fault. Now on the plus side: The location is scenic and the sites are long with a nice picnic table and fire ring. There is some nice playground equipment. The bath houses (there are several) are a bit better than average. Utilities were good. 3G cell was 3 bars. Satellite signals would depend on the site due to trees. The rate is based on an A.T.B. Access Card discount. - RLM

We chose this location as a good jump off point to Mammoth cave, for that purpose it worked out well. This campground is pretty remote for supplies and at least 20 min from the nearest shopping area. That said, it's also a good 30 min from Mammoth cave. Our registration was fast and simple through reserve America. We were given a garbage bag and map at the park entrance and we were off to the campsite. The campsite was well kept and the area appeared to be in good repair. Our biggest problem was the cleanliness of the bath house. There were dead bugs all over, and I mean all over everything, to include the sink counter, the urinal, the toilet and the showers. As for the live bugs they weren't that much of a problem but they need to install a fan to move the air and keep bugs from settling in. The view we had from our campsite was incredible, overlook of the lake breathtaking especially the next morning when the sun came up. We would camp there again when in the area. - deuce241

This campground is fantastic! It is located right on the shoreline of Nolin River Lake. Many people have their boats on site or on the shore, so very boat friendly. The playgrounds are all fairly new and the bathrooms are pretty good too. The showers have hot water and water pressure. There is a boat ramp near and a marina. The marina has some hot food and groceries to purchase, and also picnic tables to sit and watch the flow of people. There is not a store near by so make sure you come stocked with enough food. - campingkatie

Beautiful park with miles and miles of trails to hike and bike. Water & electric at the sites. Dump station is easily accessed upon leaving. The pull through sites are tight fits and rigs longer than 30 feet will find them a bit of a squeeze. The park is well maintained and there is a lot to see. Close to Murfreesboro it is easy to head out for a day trip to visit Stones River National Battlefield Park. Don't leave any of your water hoses out at your site though. We did and all our hoses and water filters had walked off while we were gone. We got the stuff back after some detective work. - Jim C.

This campground is a gem! It's well maintained with plenty to do for a quiet destination getaway. All but a handful of paved handicapped sites are gravel and ultra long. Some are W/E only. Interior roads are paved and back-ins are easy. You can see site availability and pick your site from the recreation.gov web page. Locals advise that the best sites are reserved well in advance. Most sites are level enough but some are on a hillside with a lot of front to back slope. I would avoid sites 117 thru 121, 123, 125, & 126 due to site slope. I would avoid sites 132 thru 139 as that area is swampy when it rains. Lastly, avoid 115 due to persistent smell from the dump station. Campground is a fisher's paradise. Folks could pull their boats right up to their campsite in some areas. Playgrounds for the kids, walking & biking trails, and a couple of sandy beaches round out the activities. Satellite access is iffy with the trees. AT&T had NO service but Verizon was very strong. Definitely follow the campground directions (Hwy 25 to 80 to 85) as the shortcut over Turkey Creek Rd (263) is NOT for RVs. Watch for deer as we saw herds of 30+ near the entrance. - Danno

This campground is best used by fishermen, boaters, and canoe users alike because it is located on a peninsula. Wildlife abounds. A wonderful place to relax and unwind. The camp managers are generous and lovely people. We will definitely return. - DoxieLady

This is a beautiful campground with many sites overlooking the water. Some have sewer hookups, but many do not. Sites are spacious and well-maintained. I would have given a score of 10 except for 2 things. We stayed on the first loop, which has a bath house that is closed except on 3-day weekends. The loop was very full the weekend I was there, but since it was not a 3-day holiday weekend, the bath house was closed and we had to walk 5 minutes to the nearest open bath house. With the campground full, we sometimes had to wait for an available shower and sometimes there was no hot water. The other criticism is that there is only one dump station for this large campground & there was a long line at check-out time. There needs to be at least one additional dump station. Except for those 2 issues, this is an exceptionally beautiful campground with great facilities and views. We saw numerous deer grazing just outside the campsites and roaming around at night. Many people were fishing from the bank and catching good-sized fish. The location is great for kayaking and canoeing. I would stay there again, but hope to get a site more convenient to a bath house that is open. - User294

Awesome park. Well maintained and extremely clean. Current hosts are friendly and helpful. They called to make sure we were OK when we didn't arrive on the first day of our reservation due to mechanical problems. The site we were in, 56, was just perfect. Little path down to the lake where we took our chairs and watched the lake go by. Even when full on the weekend it was very disciplined. Most of the noise stopped by 10 pm or so. Now, the helicopters, on the other hand, were annoying all day when they were landing/taking off in our direction. The scenery more than made up for it. Boat rental close if you don't have your own. Fish right from the shore by camp too. Some people had their boats pulled up right by their campsite. - Thorfinn

Our site was very easy to get into with our RV but there are definitely some sites that would be tough to get into with a large RV. Especially the sites on the inside of the loop as there are steep drives up to the flat pad. There are lots of trees so almost all of the sites are in heavy shade. Good voltage and water pressure. Verizon phone reception was very iffy. We were very lucky and had a hole just big enough to receive DirecTV service. - Ramblin On

The campground was off the interstate a ways and is a COE campground with a senior discount. The sites were a little unlevel. Ours had a view of the lake. The bathrooms were up on a steep hill so we didn't use them. Most of them were shaded, a lot of pull-throughs, a couple of levels and many on the lake. It was a nice relaxing campground, except we were there in August in 90 degree temps! - SGF

We were totally and pleasantly surprised by how nice this place is. The sites were level, easy to get into, not piled on top of your neighbor. Had a great waterfront site and it was perfect! So very clean, well maintained. Cell phone coverage was poor at best (Verizon), but not too concerning for us. No TV reception at all. Excellent value for an electric (50 amp) and water site! - cobragt23

Very nice campground on Nolin Lake. It is about twenty miles off of I-65 so it probably is not an overnight stop. Very nice for extended stays. Camping area is on a peninsula surrounded by lake on 3 sides. No pool but there is a beach area for swimming. If you are visiting Mammoth Cave, the campground is a good base. It is about 15 miles from the Green River ferry which is very close to the Cave visitors center. We stayed 2 nights. Would stay there again. Rate reflects Federal senior pass rate (50% off) - Cheeph

I like this KOA but it comes with some caveats. Good things include wide enough roads to maneuver, nice pool and other activities for the kids, including a very worn mini-golf course. My only real hesitation is the lack of level sites. We stayed in one of the ten full hookup pull-throughs at the lowest level. I was able to level my 5er by lowering the nose landing gear fully. I don't like doing that, but at least I was able to get level. Some of the other campsites up the hill were laughable. Many slope both front to rear and side to side. Granted most of these were their smaller sites but still, do some leveling before graveling in these sites. We also rented one of their cabins for a few days and it was very nice for about $100 per night. Wi-Fi connected okay but seldom provided an Internet connection. Both Verizon and AT&T had good signals. There is road noise from nearby I-65 too. The KOA put on a very nice fireworks show on the 4th. I'd stay here again but be ready for leveling challenges. - Danno

I easily reserved my camping spot on KOA's corporate website. I arrived at dusk and the office was closed. No problem there, as I am always able to find my site by using the map that is provided in the envelope typically left posted at the kiosk for late arrivals. The problem is that there was no envelope that told which spot I was assigned. Also, there were no paper maps to take with me in the camper as I drove around. The same situation was faced by the camper who arrived just after I did, and he must have circled the campground for 15 minutes trying to find his site, going faster with each pass as he grew aggravated. If you have trouble with noise, you may want to stay elsewhere, as this KOA is located just off very busy I-65, at an interchange with a truck stop. The engine brake noise was a bit much. On the good side, the bathroom was clean. However, the trash can out front was overflowing. - jdtex

This park is beautifully kept and visually very appealing. My only complaint was that the sites for big rigs were not at all level. It was like parking on a hill. It was beyond the capability of my Atwood Leveleg system to level the coach. Because I couldn't level it, I couldn't open the slides which was very annoying. I successfully connected to the WiFi but there was no internet available. I tried calling the office but there was no answer although admittedly it was late (about 8 PM). It probably just required the WiFi to be rebooted and wouldn't normally be a problem. - Adirondack Ed

Park layout has great potential, but basic maintenance is ignored - grass, sites, building etc. Most sites looked uneven and make sure to park in row B if you want water. Tried Row C but water not on. Ladies room closed for renovations and men's rooms was overall clean but shower and bath dividers were PVC and traps. Shower curtains filthy and needed to be replaced. No security on bathroom doors. I felt the $30 rate was high given the overall park and showers. Did speak with the owner on consideration on the fee and was told that women's showers were an amenity and the rate was a good one for full service (cable,water, sewer). Was planning to stay for 6-7 days but cut our visit short for two days because of conditions. The cable and TV service was fine and overall quiet park given closeness to the highway. The park is totally open and is not secure including the baths/shower rooms. the park had 7 guests one night and 10 the other. Has outside playground but needs attention like most of the park. Office not manned but owner will pick up phone if called. Had to pay cash for both nights and did not ask owner if he would open office to pay by CC. For me this is a overnight only park. - ewald628

We are passing through Ky and wanted to stay at a state park, but, not the right place at the right time. This is a new park, there are trees at each site but 10-15 ft tall. Owner was available by phone to make arrangements, and onsite when we arrived. Site gravel, pretty unlevel. Grass around site for dog, no picnic table. On the other hand, Internet a full signal, very good. - User2700

WiFi & cable TV good. Interior roads somewhat rough as they just had a downpour which caused gravel to wash away. Bathrooms are spotless. Some road noise from Western KY Parkway. Owner very helpful. Another camper sprung a water leak and he was advised where to get parts early a.m. and all fixed quickly. Another camper had his ribs all set to grill and his grill wouldn't start, so the owner hauled his personal grill over to their site. Very accommodating. - Traveling Foxes

Campground was clean but had many old and rundown RVs that seems to be here for a while. Most are long term residence, most of them are in small travel trailers. No problems here but folks aren't very friendly. It is the only campground in the local area. We camped here to be close to family in the area. This is just a place to park your RV, no activities in the campground. - nascaron
